The broth was good, so was the spaghetti squash, however I couldn't get why you would add bell peppers to this when you could have added other things to it to enhance the flavor? Bell peppers didn't belong in this dish, the soup broth was perfect, it just needed a little bit more chile sauce and lime as a final touch.
